Oh, we can definitely relate to the over-thinking.
Or at least, I can.
Brain. Please to stahp. Thank you.
I have had lifelong anxiety, started when I was seven. I took all kind of pills for anxiety - always as prescribed. They work. Problem is that after a while they don't work as well and doctors will just keep adding more. When I was on benzos I was sober...until the benzos stopped working as well and I started having breakthrough anxiety. I didn't like how that felt so one day...
...I had a drink. 18 years sober down the drain. It took me seven years to be back sober and it was seven years of so many meds, so much alcohol. Miserable. Truly.
Danger.
I am far better off with no meds. Still have the anxiety, but I've learned that it does pass and I don't have to drink or take a pill.
